Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to\xa0Bjorn Lomborg, Alex Epstein,\xa0and\xa0Benji Backer\xa0about the\xa0Green New Deal.\xa0They discuss why it is poorly designed\xa0environmental policy\xa0and won\u2019t deliver on the promise of\xa0green jobs.\xa0The\xa0green economy\xa0is another utopia being pushed by Rep.\xa0Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,\xa0Senator Ed Markey,\xa0and\xa0progressive Democrats\xa0that won\u2019t solve climate change. Instead, our guests argue that various plans to replace\xa0fossil fuels\xa0with inefficient and expensive\xa0renewable energy\xa0could actually make life worse for the poorest among us. They will also discuss how unrelated issues like\xa0racial justice\xa0have been packaged into\xa0climate policy\xa0and the importance of separating politics from science.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
